Description
Manuscript illustrations of knights in armor, serfs at the plow, and castles under siege show what life looked like and how it was conducted in the Middle Ages - or do they? This 4-part series focuses on 4 manuscripts, the Book of Kells, the Lindau Gospels, the Luttrell Psalter, and the Tres Riches Heures du Duc de Berry, probing the truth behind these treasures of medieval history and exploring conditions that fostered their creation.
